Aqara Hub M3 [Offline]

The Aqara Hub M3 is a multi-protocol smart home hub that serves as a central control point, enabling local control, Matter bridging for Zigbee devices, and integration with various smart home ecosystems.

Key Features:

• Multi-Protocol Support: It functions as a central hub for Zigbee (acting as a repeater), a Thread Border Router, and an IR Blaster.
• Matter Compatibility: The M3 is a certified Matter controller and a Matter bridge, meaning it can expose all connected Aqara Zigbee and Thread devices to any Matter-enabled third-party ecosystem (Apple Home, Google, Alexa).
• Edge Computing: The hub is designed for true local control and automation execution. Automations run even faster and more reliably with the M3, without relying on an internet connection or the cloud.
• Wired Connectivity: Includes both a Gigabit Ethernet port for stable connection and a USB-C port for power or accessories.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE): A significant feature allowing the hub to receive both power and data connectivity via a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation.
• Bluetooth & Wi-Fi 6: Supports Bluetooth for direct pairing and Wi-Fi 6 (dual-band 2.4GHz/5GHz) for robust wireless connectivity.
• Built-in Speaker & IR: Includes a speaker for alarms and chimes, as well as a 360-degree IR blaster to control traditional non-smart appliances (e.g., A/C, TVs).
• Compatibility: Works with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, and more.
• Mounting Options: Designed to be flexible with wall, ceiling, and tabletop installation options.
